How to Empty a Church: The Manual

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I love this book! All pastors, especially rookies, should read it. It is a delightful, tongue-in-cheek memoir of Pastor John’s wild, crazy, and wonderfully fruitful ministry in York, Pennsylvania. Swimming against the flow of the best ‘church growth’ advice of the day, he was a pastor that prioritized ministry over money, people over programs, racial diversity over popularity, service over celebrity, and relationships over numbers. Following his life and ministry for over forty years, I have witnessed his passion to remain faithful to Jesus and the Holy Scriptures.”
